I haven't interviewed for a job in over 25 years & have a question. OBVIOUSLY you send a thank you BUT email, typed snail mail or handwritten mailed?

[DrPepper12]

Speaking for myself 25 years ago ONLY! I would send a TYPED SNAIL MAIL TY note to the person / committee head as I viewed it as an OPPORTUNITY to talk myself up again & also to make myself memorable by including some exchange we had at the interview. I would also talk up the secretary, security, custodian - IDGAF who or titles - just to get SOME small advantage over other candidates.

So, are TY notes still a thing and if so what format? IMHO, If you're NOT sending a TY you're a fool & don't deserve the job!!

Also, I've been on hiring committees where the person DID send a TY but neglected to sign it in ink. To me that was a 🚩🚩🚩 that they were either lazy or didn't pay attention to details and became a ❌ against them. To me that kind of shit matters - a lot!

You MUST send a TY - format is irrelevant these days.

You MUST send a HANDWRITTEN TY

You MUST send a TYPED SNAIL MAIL TY

You MUST send an EMAIL TY

You DONT NEED to send a TY

My HIGHLY successful patented™ MO to get hired was:

I'm a millennial. What's an interview?

I think in this day and age we can expect people to not send anything at all, however, if they do I'd expect an email would suffice. Sending snail mail might be too slow and put you at a disadvantage against those using email. Besides, who likes reading snail mail anymore?

I just realized I've never interviewed. I started and own my company. However I have interviewed people for open positions. When I do interview someone and that person cares enough to call or send an email to thank me, that is a major plus when considering that person. If the formatting is business standard even better.

I usually sent an email. I would also send one to the secretary if I spent some time with her.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Thank you notes are still very much appreciated after an interview. An email is usually the preferred method due to its immediacy, but a handwritten note can also leave a memorable impression. Ensure it reflects your genuine gratitude and personal touches from the interview. Highlight any meaningful exchanges, maintaining a professional tone. Whatever format you choose, make sure it is timely, concise, and free of errors. A well-crafted thank you note demonstrates your politeness, attention to detail, and genuine interest in the position.

I voted for typed mail, I always use it.
